| Joseph Boyle | Jan 5 2025, 12:03pm | The race details and updated map have been loaded onto the website for the new route if anyone wishes to try it out in advance. I'd also like some feedback on areas that may be difficult to follow. A Junior route will be uploaded in the near future, thanks to everyone who's volunteered already, it's good to see the winner of the WWR race the last two years volunteering and giving back to the community. |
| Joseph Boyle | Jan 17 2025, 8:51am | A quick update on the Howth Winter race, in particular for the volunteers to date. The race have been moved to the Saturday the 1st February to facilitate the use of public transport. The Sunday public transport services don't start early enough. |

| Joseph Boyle | Today, 1:05pm | Hi Everyone, The following are a couple of updates in relation to the race next weekend. The race starts at 10:30 and registration will close at 10:15. Registration will take place outside the Summit Inn, the exact location will be decided based on the weather that morning. Toilets will not be available at the Summit Inn, there are public toilets available in the Summit carpark where the race begins and finishes. We’ve had to tweak the route slightly due to works that have recently started on a Heather Regeneration project. Please click on the updated map link on the IMRA race page. There are two main carparks shown on the map with up to 140 spots available, however these are on a first come first served basis. There is also plenty of free spaces available in the harbour if you wish to carpool. Please do not park illegally in the vicinity or in the Summit Inn carpark. I’ve checked the Irish Rail website and there is no works planned for this weekend on the Dart line, please double check before you decide you might use it. The H3 and 6 Dublin Buses outside will take you up to the summit in about 5/6 minutes. There is a coffee van in the Summit carpark most weekends, I’ve checked with the and they said they will be there, so please don’t park in the concession spot in the carpark if you’re there early. Here’s hoping for better weather next Saturday and hopefully everyone will enjoy the new route. |
